[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 213177, member: 2423"] The advocate should be telling you what to expect at the meeting. That's what you're paying her for. She should be finding out exactly what type of meeting this is before you both walk through the door of the school next Wednesday. FWIW, the meeting sounds like a manifestation determination. The IEP team will review all information about your child and determine if the negative behavior was caused by the child's disability, had a direct and substantial relationship to the disability, or was the result of the school's failure to implement the IEP. The IEP team must answer several questions: Is the child's IEP appropriate? Is the child's placement appropriate? Did the school provide appropriate behavior intervention strategies? Did the child's disability impair the child's ability to understand the impact and concequences of the behavior? If the child's behavior was a manifestation of the disability, the IEP team will conduct an FBA and implement a BIP. If a BIP was developed previously, it should be modified to address behavior as necessary. If the child's behavior did not involve weapons, drugs or serious bodily injury, the child should return to the previous placement. It will be interesting to see if your SD interprets biting the substitute teacher as serious bodily injury. by the way, if the child's behavior involves serious bodily injury, the child may be suspended for 45 days even if the behavior was a manifestation of the disability. The child is still entitled to FAPE (source: Wrightslaw). [/QUOTE]
